Mehsud's death
Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud and his second wife were reportedly killed in South Waziristan by a US drone attack after receiving an intelligence report about his hideout provided by (Mehsud's mentor) ISI. A few days later two of Mehsud's deputies were also killed by each other - apparently over the succession dispute.
Mehsud and his deputies will surely be missed by the chief contractor for 'Talibanisation of Bangladesh' project -- Jamaat-e-Islami, sub-contractors 'Amra hobo Taliban' jihadi groups and 1971 Bangladesh war criminals. Time will never be quite the same for them in Bangladesh after these killings.
